ide look at buying from a dealer either way, new or used, a 125 ide probably go new as they are already cheap and off the floor, a vtr is a bit dearer so ide prob look at buying used. is a cbr 250 gonna be a similair ride to the vtr? the look is growing on me for the vtr but i dont know if i can justify in my mind spending 6-8k on a bike im not really too flash on visually ya know?
